Facts DVT does not cause heart attack or stroke. There are two main types of blood clots.

According to the Mayo Clinic, slight swelling is harmless, caused by temporary poor circulation from sitting still for extended periods of time during a long flight, car or bus ride, or a train trip. Occasionally, swelling can cause deep vein thrombosis (DVT), in which a blood clot forms in a lower leg vein. However, unless you are at risk for DVT -- are older, overweight, have a history of blood clots or have recently undergone surgery -- leg swelling is a temporary, uncomfortable and easily preventable condition.

- Deep vein thrombosis, or deep venous thrombosis, (DVT) is the formation of a blood clot (thrombus) within a deep vein, most commonly the legs. Nonspecific signs may include pain, swelling, redness, warmness, and engorged superficial veins. Pulmonary embolism, a potentially life-threatening complication, is caused by the detachment (embolization) of a clot that travels to the lungs. Together, DVT and pulmonary embolism constitute a single disease process known as venous thromboembolism.
